2015 Rams Roster Preview: TE Brad Smelley Is Looking To Escape Practice Squad Swirl

Four stints with three teams in four years. Is this the year Smelley makes it out of practice squad pergatory?

There's just a different scent when Brad Smelley hits the field. The sweet aroma of football heightens when he's around. And around, he has gotten.

The Cleveland Browns turned up their noses at the former Alabama tight end after drafted him late in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Rams took a flier on him heading into 2013, but opted to sniff another opportunity with Justice Cunningham. After spending the rest of that season with Houston, the Rams caught a whiff of him after Mason Brodine's ankle injury in the first preseason game of 2014.
